TV

I know that Mel said he wasn't too interested in TV but I would add it to my subscription immediately. I know they have the TV capability already as they are broadcasting Disney, Nickelodeon and I believe Cartoon Network so adding a few channels for adults would be sweet.

I say they use some of the additional bandwidth for pushing commercial content to free sub radios. They inject the commercials at regular intervals. Those who won't pay for it, give it for free, and get the advertising dollars.

At some point when both systems are finally able to merge, the company will have the ability to do many things. Don't forget that they are giving up "free minority channels" based on the number of channels they offer. For this reason, I would not look for much more than 145 channels.

I see them delivering better sound quality. Offering "onstar" like services such opening a locked car, etc. Perhaps some more video and data.

As technology develops, they may do much more on the net than through the satellites. On the net, they can offer as many channels as they want without worry about supporting the freebies. If the net gets to the car, this could be huge.
